Chart notes

HALF MAGIC broke on top, maintained the lead, and drew off. RISKTAKER settled right off the leader within the first two furlongs from the three path, shuffled back a bit nearing the turn, was joined by other competitors on either side, angled out into the five path in the lane was cued; executed a turn of foot and was up for second. INFINITESIMAL was off a step slow, was allowed to gather himself along the rail, closed ground, stayed on the fence after the quarter pole but tired by the eighth mile marker. CUSTOM BLUE GRASS was off slow, caught up to the rest of the field by the half mile from the five and six path, continued to close from the outside and faltered in the lane. FLOWER CAT rushed into the second tier from in between horse in the four path, raced in between rivals throughout the turn, started to tire at the quarter pole, lugged in down the stretch and struggled to switch leads.
